Press & Reviews

STANDFAST
‘Thrilling, inventive and utterly original, Standfast is a theatre/escape room hybrid set in and amongst Edinburgh’s picturesque Royal Mile.

The concept is ambitious, to say the least, but is faultless in its execution. An all-female cast decked in period costume lurk at their stations, hiding behind historic haunts for your arrival, communicating their secrets and tasks to you so convincingly that the story becomes alive as you dodge the flyerers, street performers and tourists in your WWI era treasure hunt to save the city.’ – ***** Edinburgh Guide
